Things you don't like about yourself (physically)

[The Mom]

As many of you know, I had a photo session today, and the photographer was surprised at the physical attribute I was most concerned about hiding...my upper arms! My arms are (IMO, and she agreed once I pointed it out) very muscular, and always have been, and disproportionate to my size. (Can anyone say Popeye?)

I have a friend who is very self-conscious about her ankles.

My daughter hates her feet; they're very small, and have lots of callouses from her years of dancing, including several years on pointe.

It's very common for women to be concerned about their "figures", hair, skin, weight, etc. And a lot of men are concerned about their physique, height, hair (or lack thereof
) but do any of you have "weird" things that you're self-conscious about?

Of course, I realize that everyone will be checking out my arms at the meet in December! :lol:

That's the great thing about being a man.

Hide them? But they're all the better to hug with!

Or to wrestle with.

hrrm well I wish I was taller, I am 5'10 I want to be around 6'3. Also something I am working on my booty has grown since I moved down to Florida LOL, so I cannot fit into my jeans lately.

If asked this question two years ago, I would say I would change my height. But, I have learned to ignore people making fun of my height (for those that don't know 5'0) and to love it! I would not change my height. I finally got over that. And I love being able to buy little kids clothes! :lol: But I would say I would change my nose and I just wish my hair was longer! I am upset that I chopped it off

5'10" is like the perfect height. I'm 6'2", and I stick out in every picture as a giant. I hit my head on things, and I have trouble finding shirts that are long enough...

I wish my hair wasn't so thick, but all in all I like myself

As someone with a thinning spot (AKKK!!!) I wish I could say that.

Care to donate any???

Hmm...I dunno, I mean, my hair could be a little longer, and my stomach/thighs/rear a little less fatty, but eh, I'm doing good I think.

I go by the "I like Big Butts" theory

I really wish my feet were smaller. I just bought new shoes today... a size 10!! I hate them!

Its no easier buying shoes when your feet are a tiny size 6!
Though we do make a funny pair. :lol:

I wish I were a little taller...if I stand really straight I just make 5'4'' (and I hate it when she kisses me on the top of the head. ) I've always had big hips so I've just learned to accept them.

 

[mkt]

I would like straight hair, a more well defined jawline, and to be an 1/2 inch taller...

that's it..

 

[egionet]

I hate my stomach. It bothers me sooo much. I think I'm fat but people say I'm crazy. I don't know. I'm also really tall for a girl. I don't mind being tall, but my legs are excessively long and it's hard for me to buy pants. I have to order them off the internet. So maybe if I stayed the same height, but my legs got shorter and my body got longer. That would be perfect!

 

[TURKEY]

I wish my gut was smaller.

I wish that either I was shorter or more shirts were taller.

I wish my feet were smaller or shoes were bigger.

 

[darthdarrel]

Oh GEeze, Where do I start?
I wish I was thinner, maybe about 140 pounds. i also wish that my legs were straighter and my teeth were straighter.

I have the same problem! I break combs unless they're the super wide-tooth ones, and it takes FOREVER to dry my hair. Then, if I don't put tons of straightener and laminator in it, it "poofs" up like crazy. The crazy lady at the AC even made a joke about it. She joked that my hair was really down to my waist, but it was so poofed that you couldn't tell.

When I lost about 20 pounds it started falling out by the handfulls, but has stopped now that I've stabilized. Not that anyone else noticed it thinning. Except my hairdresser; it was easier to style.

Tyler, I'm 6'3" and don't hit my head on stuff....
And being tall means we can look down on most everyone else. I hate it when someone is taller than me by 3 inches or more and I have to look up at them--too unnatural for me.

Change something on me? I'm 42 and too much gray hair, especially in the beard, but I will not use Just For Men. At least I've got the hair to grow.

Scott, my husband started getting grey hair in his late teens. It was salt and pepper by 30, and now is completely white. (he's in his 50s)

My daughter (20) already has a few, and my son (10) has a couple!
